FREE??? Hello!?!? You mean you haven't paid your dues to WM Chen for the priviledge of viewing his threads??!?!??? Shame on you!!
You did suggest he should get paid for his contributions to the craft, so pony-up! 
Oh, and Welcome to MW!!

Not if it's frosty inside...

On to a favourite part of mine which I rarely get to do on a Macross model - dry brushing. It is usually a technique quite common in tank modelling. Together with the oil wash which picks out the low lying recessed details, the dry brushing will pick out the opposite highpoints in the molding - it will look like worn metal when its done. I usually find a flat edged brush that is fairly stiff (I used an old watercolour brush with synthetic bristles) - this is the only use for this brush because the process is fairly rough on the brush and will ruin it for other use. It can be done with white (which I did for the fast packs on the Super Valkyrie) or I'm using Sky Grey in this instance.
You say this technique is rough on the brush, how so? What's the brush stroke like? is it dabbing the edges, straight on, bending the bristles?
Maybe a "brush in action" picture? a small mpeg movie? or better yet, come to my house and show me?

Go away freako!!...
oh, you were talking to Grayson... nevermind...

Macross CM 2 chase figure
For $17,500.00 ?
Hmnn Ebay won't let me set a link to them. Cut and paste then.
It was probably because of this
When eBay announces these deals, they don't give lot of advanced notice, so lots of sellers will usually start a whole bunch of empty auctions (at high starting price, for headroom) to take advantage of the deal. This way they can take their time revising each auction (especially 10 day auctions, like this guy did) by adding actual items with descriptions and pictures, and lowering prices accordingly. Check out his other auctions, he's not finished revising all of them yet.

Yep, great build, but definitely needs panel lines.

But doesn't that look like a vertical "tail" wing and not a main wing?

Damn it Andy

Wouldn't scanning it at hi rez be better than taking a picture of it?

Thought I'd lighten up this thread a little...
If you're not yet aware that one of the interesting feature of the Mercedes Smart Car is swapable body panels, get your head out of your buttcrack! While trying to cash in on the Smart Car craze, Takara, in association with Mercedes, introduces their new line-up of full size DigiQ-style swapable whole bodies for Smart Cars! Takara hopes to bring in a new era in the useless and ridiculous non-performance enhancing car modification industry!
Here we go!
My apologies if these have been posted here before, but I wasn't about to browse thru an 84 page thread to find out.
Cheers.

Indeed!
Indigo, that's the Retpuu kit, right? I have that kit but it's way back on my list. Kind of scared of building a vinyl kit maybe. Do you treat those like styrene and resin kits? or is there a totally different way of going at it?

i've made the plans from references (screen shots) i have several WIP posts in differents forums (it's in french) .
the original topic (25 pages long) with all the steps :

A shorter one :
Merci pour les liens, et le fait qu'ils soient en français n'est pas un problème, puisque je suis francophone!

That's awesome!!! Are you working from a set of plans? (like papercraft or something) or are you just winging it from references? Please keep us updated (or me at least
) on this project, I would love to see it completed. Got more pictures of the build-up? You have a build-up thread on another forum? (Like Ryuji's figure build-ups all over the place). One last thing, make me one!?! 
Goldorak and Captain Harlock are my all-time favorite childhood Anime series. In the early 80's, like in France, Quebec TV was playing french dubbed Grendizer and Harlock, not Robotech. My love of Macross came later, when I discovered Macross Plus, and SDF, in the mid 90's. My childhood is Robotech-Free!!!

Interesting, but is it based (and hopefully improved) on the Arii kit? or a plain cast from an actual Arii kit?
-
Shaving resin off this kit only to save a few bucks won't be worth the decrease in quality and strength of the kit, and the savings would be minimal at best.
-
Ok Chad, add me to the list.
-
I'm in for one...
-
What's a model kit? I just collect lots random shapes made of resin...
edit: thought this link would be useful...

Hey, I forgot about this thread... I was hosting the pics on my ISP supplied web space, 5 measly stinkin' megs, and I had to remove them so I could host some pics of stuff I was selling on evilBay.
I guess I can upload them to MW now, so one half-naked transforming girl for Kanata67, coming up! Go back and check my original posts for the pics.
